background: the most efficient application of ionizing radiation is serving medical purposes and using this radiation has caused people to learn that artificial sources of radiation exposure among these resources can be of highest exposure rate.   objective: the present study is aimed at initially establishing a baseline for local-reference dose level in mazandaran, iran in 12 projections of th...

background: eos is a 2d/3d muscle skeletal diagnostic imaging system. the device has been developed to produce a high quality 2d, full body radiographs in standing, sitting and squatting positions. three dimensional images can be reconstructed via stereos software. this health technology assessment study aimed to investigate efficacy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new emerged eos imag...

There is some confusion in the market place concerning the replacement of the PCI Bus (Peripheral Components Interface) by either the InfiniBandSM Architecture (IBA), PCI-Express (formerly 3GIO Third Generation I/O), or upgrades to the PCI bus itself. Initially the InfiniBand architecture was viewed as the replacement for the PCI bus, yet the PCISIG (PCI Special Interest Group) recently announc...

Current advances in neonatal care not only include medical equipment designed for small infants, such as advances in incubators used to maintain infant body temperatures at a constant level and ventilators able to gently control respiration in even the lungs of newborns that weigh less than 1000 grams, but also clearly include major contributions from developments in drugs, such as artificial l...

Introduction: Misdiagnosis and the resulting mismanagement are challenging issues in complicated cases which present with obscure complaints. Interpreting radiologic studies, especially conventional plain radiologic images, remains the most frequently prescribed and useful modality for the first step of assessment. Case Presentation: In this report, we present...

Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...
